Kinji and Aria's relationship is what I would call the double tsundere act; Both are clearly attracted to the other in a cardinal fashion, but neither are completely honest with the other- Aria because of her pride, Kinji because of his secrets... And strong dislike of the opposite gender >.>

True, they are both going to have to get over that in order for anything to happen. Maybe if Kinji can resolve the internal conflict with his Hysteria Mode then they will have some hope.

It would help if Aria knew exactly what Hysteria Mode is and what triggers it. She still seems to be under the impression that it's a battle mode activated under stressful situations. Maybe if she knew what really triggers it, she can help Kinji get over the embarrassment.

The first step towards solving a problem is recognizing it. If Kinji isn't going to accept Hysteria Mode, then Aria will have to help him accept it. The only way Aria can help Kinji is if she understands his situation. Nothing is going to happen if one of them doesn't take the next step.

I do agree that Aria will probably have to figure out on her own though.

Think the only danger is Aria finding out and freaking out a bit. Considering she's not good with love topics the requirement to trigger that mode might bother her a bit. Still do agree that she's necessary for him accepting that mode.

Aria does need to find out and then they can both work on accepting it. Do think her reaction will be something to see though when she does piece it together.

It'll be even funnier when she does stuff to trigger Hysteria Mode on purpose.

That sounds like Riko. Aria would be like "you owe me for this" or "I'm doing this so we can win, not because I like you" or somesuch. While secretly of course she is more than happy to do it.

Or figure it out through Deus Ex Machina. It seems like everyone but the two lovers (Shirayuki an Aria) know about hysteria mode. I'm surprised someone didn't just tell her when she asked about it loudly in public.

Everything about her(except dual wielding 1911 .45's FTMFW!) bugs me in the negative way. I do not like her type of character at all, and I hate couplings that appear forced to me, and her with kinji feels forced.

Maybe the manga version doesn't have the qualities that bug me, I'll have to read it. The anime version though, I haven't seen an episode yet where I liked her in it.

If you read the Novel your opinion about "forced" would be changed in the sixth and seventh novel.
The novel goes A LOT more in depth about the characters. The novel while making me rage to my boiling point is keeping me hooked.

Since no one can predict the future to 100% I am very scared while reading the novel, hoping that nothing breaks up my shipment, hell I'm a guy and I'm this immersed by their relationship, I really never feel immersed by relationships in mangas/animes, but this really catches me.

And yes, I'm a Tsundere lover, so my opinion might just be biased I don't know.

Actually it's quite the opposite for me... The more I read the novel the more awkward I feel about this pairing- some times it fits, some times doesn't.

Ahhh, you must be new to this

Learn to swallow that pain and suffering of the evil that is 'Coupling'... Nobody said that being an Anime Fan was easy!

I don't know, as far as tsundere pairings go- This one doesn't quite wow me the way others do.

Aria as a tsundere... Something just doesn't feel right to me after 6.1 volumes. Looking back at some of my favorite tsunderes, I think Aria 'breaks' too easily- she reveals her vulnerable-emotional side far too often and doesn't strike me as a particularly strong girl; basically she has more chinks in her armor than necessary. Which would be fine as there are girly Tsunderes as well, the problem is she's suppose to be this tough lone wolf girl that doesn't care what people say or think and need anybody to look after her, but more often she comes off as too 'weak' emotionally to play that role.

Hmm, isn't that "kind" of a good thing? That it doesn't fit all the time, wouldn't that mean that it isn't really forced?

Yep, there are not many couples that are told good in Animes or Mangas, most of the couples are just blown past because they rush it too much, but Novels tend to describe more, giving it a lot more depth. So that might be it, and I will have to suck it up until Baka tsuki translates that 33%, because without that I can never be 100% sure of the outcome, which is making me crazy >_>

Soon I will probably break down and ask someone what happens in those 33%.

She does show her weak side almost instantly whenever Kinji goes into hysteria mode, but I feel that is what most girls tend to do in animes, they easily blush and easily tremble in front of the suave main character. But hehe, I don't mind her weak side popping up, I just find it adorable.

But maybe you are right, I didn't look at it in that way. I guess it just doesn't bother me, as long as they develop her and not keep her predictable. Because you know the scene when

Spoiler:

Kinji accidently pushes her down in the school when they were cleaning

I was pretty sure that she would whip out her guns, but her other reaction surprised me a little. In that aspect they have improved her, making her less trigger happy and more whats the word "reasonable" maybe?
